Crystal Antlers have big tour plans in support of their debut full-length Tentacles, which came out March 3rd on iTunes and will come out April 7th on CD and LP on Touch & Go.

The band visits SXSW this week, with multiple appearances including an official showcase on Friday at Flaming Cantina, and the free day-fest Mess With Texas on Saturday (with The Black Lips, Cursive, Monotonix, The Thermals, Akron/Family, Vivian Girls, Crystal Antlers, Abe Vigoda, and more). From there, they'll tour North America through April (with a small break), ending in two NYC dates: The Bell House in Brooklyn on May 11th (no tickets yet) and Mercury Lounge on May 12th (on sale Tuesday at noon). UK dates in May.
